As with other means tested benefits, however, there are rules to prevent claimants depriving themselves of capital in order to claim Universal Credit or increase their entitlement to Universal Credit. If claimants deprive themselves of capital by gifting the capital to their children or placing it in a child’s account, notional capital of the amount deprived may still be taken into account when assessing entitlement to Universal Credit.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 05/12/2017 15:25:13 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
